RSS Chief Emphasizes Character Building as Core Mission at Nagpur Event Mohan Bhagwat, the RSS chief, delivered a speech at the “Priya Yashwantrao” event in Nagpur, organized by the Vidarbha unit of the Akhil Bharatiya Vidyarthi Parishad (ABVP), to commemorate the birth centenary of Prof Yashwantrao Kelkar, the organization’s founding architect. Speaking at the Kavivarya Suresh Bhat Auditorium in Reshimbagh, Bhagwat asserted that the essence of the RSS’s organizational work lies in shaping individuals through “manushya nirman” (character building). He emphasized that every RSS volunteer, regardless of the platform they work on, must prioritize cultivating better human beings as their primary task. Bhagwat drew a metaphor from nature, stating that “a bird flies using both its wings,” and likened this to the necessity of balancing “gyan” (knowledge) and “karma” (action) to achieve spiritual and personal growth. He highlighted the importance of patience and perseverance, noting that “all endeavours take time” and that the Sangh’s history over the past century demonstrates how resolve leads to fulfillment at the right moment. Reflecting on Kelkar’s legacy, Bhagwat described his work as rooted in eternal principles, stating that recognizing and living by fundamental truths is the methodology that guided Kelkar’s efforts to expand the organization. He framed the event as an intellectual and moral awakening, stressing that the words shared during the program are meant to take root in participants’ minds and bring about transformative change in their lives. Bhagwat also addressed the current context, urging the RSS to capitalize on its favorable phase to expand its work.#mohan_bhagwat #akhil_bharatiya_vidyarthi_parishad #kavivarya_suresh_bhat_auditorium #priya_yashwantrao #vidarbha_unit
